SyntaxVerb – Passive (3 – Double accusatives)

We have noted that some verbs, like ποτίζω and διδάσκω, can take two accusative arguments, a recipient and a theme (the thing that the recipient is receiving) (20.1.3.2). When these verbs are passivized, it should in theory be possible to have either the recipient or the theme become the subject, but in practice, it is almost always the recipient:

• (342) Recipient becomes subject
• καὶ πάντες ἓν πνεῦμα ἐποτίσθημεν
• And we all were made to drink one spirit (1 Cor 12:13)
